A serious argument erupted between West Bengal’s ruling party, the Trinamool Congress (TMC), and the main opposition party, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). This happened after a woman died when her car flipped over. She was reportedly being chased by a group of men in another car in Paschim Bardhaman district.
Union minister Sukanta Majumdar, who is also a BJP MP, accused Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of making West Bengal unsafe for women. He stated, “Every day, terrible crimes happen against women, and the government does nothing to help!” He criticized Banerjee for promising to protect women but claimed that under her government, women are harmed instead.
In response, TMC spokesperson Kunal Ghosh released a video. He said that the police believe this incident was just a traffic accident and denied that the woman was being harassed. He warned that false information is being spread about the woman’s death.
The woman, who was just 27 years old and worked in management, died in what police are calling a “road accident.” According to police investigations, she was actually trying to overtake another vehicle when the crash occurred. However, her grieving mother raised concerns about the police investigation, saying they aren’t doing enough to find the people in the other car.
The woman was traveling to a function in Gaya, Bihar, with three of her coworkers. Police have taken both cars involved in the incident and are currently investigating the case.
